  Bravely

  where
• 1:43
  no
• 1:43
  one
• 1:43
  has
• 1:44
  gone
• 1:44
  before.
• 1:45
  As
• 1:45
  a
• 1:46
  children's
• 1:46
  book
• 1:46
  author,
• 1:47
  your
• 1:47
  journey
• 1:48
  may
• 1:48
  start
• 1:49
  as
• 1:49
  a
• 1:49
  parent
• 1:49
  or
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  grandparent
• 1:51
  who
• 1:51
  enjoys
• 1:52
  reading
• 1:52
  children's
• 1:53
  books
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  your
• 1:55
  children
• 1:55
  or
• 1:55
  grandchildren.
• 1:57
  As
• 1:57
  parents,
• 1:58
  my
• 1:58
  wife
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  I
• 1:59
  read
• 2:00
  to
• 2:00
  our
• 2:00
  children
• 2:00
  and
• 2:01
  had
• 2:01
  a
• 2:01
  small
• 2:02
  library
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  books.
• 2:04
  However,
• 2:04
  it
• 2:04
  wasn't
• 2:05
  until
• 2:06
  we
• 2:06
  had
• 2:07
  grandkids
• 2:07
  that
• 2:08
  we
• 2:08
  became
• 2:08
  more
• 2:08
  serious
• 2:09
  about
• 2:09
  reading.
• 2:10
  Sleepovers
• 2:11
  and
• 2:12
  story
• 2:12
  reading
• 2:13
  at
• 2:13
  bedtime
• 2:13
  became
• 2:14
  a
• 2:14
  welcome
• 2:15
  routine.
• 2:16
  My
• 2:17
  relationship
• 2:18
  with
• 2:18
  my
• 2:18
  oldest
• 2:19
  granddaughter
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  our
• 2:20
  adventures
• 2:21
  became
• 2:21
  the
• 2:22
  foundation
• 2:23
  for
• 2:23
  developing
• 2:24
  our
• 2:24
  children's
• 2:25
  book
• 2:25
  series.
• 2:26
  My
• 2:26
  granddaughter
• 2:27
  Kira
• 2:27
  suggested
• 2:28
  we
• 2:28
  purchase
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  journal,
• 2:30
  write
• 2:30
  our
• 2:31
  first
• 2:31
  story,
• 2:31
  and
• 2:32
  develop
• 2:32
  other
• 2:33
  stories
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  our
• 2:34
  book
• 2:34
  series.
• 2:35
  Kira's
• 2:36
  idea
• 2:36
  began
• 2:37
  our
• 2:38
  children's

  Author's

  However,

  as

  self

  published
• 2:55
  authors,
• 2:56
  this
• 2:57

  Understanding

  selling

  them
• 4:09
  at

  takes
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  considerable
• 4:12
  amount
• 4:12
  of
• 4:13
  time
• 4:13
  commitment,
• 4:14
  reading
• 4:15
  at
• 4:15
  schools
• 4:15
  and
• 4:15
  libraries
• 4:16
  generally
• 4:16
  doesn't
• 4:17
  allow
• 4:18
  you
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  sell
• 4:20
  books.
• 4:21
  You
• 4:21
  have
• 4:21
  to
• 4:21
  design
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  takeaway
• 4:23
  for
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  children

  that
• 4:25
  references
• 4:26
  your

  book
• 4:27
  and
• 4:27
  hope
• 4:28
  that
• 4:28
  they
• 4:29
  will
• 4:29
  encourage
• 4:30
  their
• 4:31
  parents

  purchase
• 4:32
  it
• 4:32
  when

  they
• 4:33
  get
• 4:33
  home.
• 4:34
  Also,
• 4:35
  renting

  a

  purchasing

  POS
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  support
• 4:39
  your
• 4:39
  booth
• 4:40
  can
• 4:40
  be
• 4:40
  costly.
• 4:41
  You
• 4:41
  might
• 4:42
  love
• 4:42
  this
• 4:42
  approach
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  as
• 4:44
  I
• 4:44
  mentioned
• 4:44
  before,
• 4:45
  there
• 4:45
  is
• 4:45
  no
• 4:46
  right
• 4:46
  or
• 4:46
  wrong
• 4:47
  way
• 4:47
  to
• 4:47
  go
• 4:47
  to
• 4:48
  market.
• 4:49
  We've
• 4:49
  decided
• 4:49
  to
• 4:50
  build
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  website
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  offers
• 4:51
  a
• 4:52
  home
• 4:52
  to
• 4:53
  our
• 4:53
  children's
• 4:53
  book
• 4:54
  series.
• 4:55
  We
• 4:56
  hope
• 4:56
  over
• 4:56
  the
• 4:57
  years
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  attract
• 5:00
  readers
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  encourage
• 5:02
  visitors
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  buy
• 5:03
  our
• 5:03
  books.
• 5:04
  Like
• 5:05
  any
• 5:05
  home,
• 5:05
  your
• 5:06
  family
• 5:06
  grows
• 5:07
  and
• 5:07
  becomes
• 5:07
  a
• 5:07
  welcoming
• 5:08
  stop
• 5:09
  along
• 5:09
  the
• 5:09
  way
• 5:10
  for
• 5:10
  not
• 5:10
  only
• 5:10
  your
• 5:11
  family,
• 5:12
  but
• 5:12
  for
• 5:12
  friends
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  community.
• 5:14
  We
• 5:14
  hope
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  will
• 5:15
  visit
• 5:15
  and
• 5:16
  support
• 5:16
  our
• 5:16
  children's
• 5:17
  book
• 5:18
  home.
• 5:18
  Our
• 5:18
  website
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  boost
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  RockyMountainBear.com
• 5:22
  from
• 5:23
  time
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  time,
• 5:25
  through
• 5:25
  different
• 5:26
  elements
• 5:26
  of
• 5:26
  our
• 5:27
  website,
• 5:27
  we
• 5:27
  are
• 5:27
  creating
• 5:28
  a
• 5:28
  voice
• 5:28
  for
• 5:29
  ourselves,
• 5:29
  a
• 5:30
  portal
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  children's
• 5:32
  book
• 5:32
  world
• 5:32
  and
• 5:33
  a
• 5:33
  platform
• 5:33
  for
• 5:34
  other
• 5:35
  children's
• 5:35
  book
• 5:35
  authors
• 5:36
  to
• 5:36
  introduce
• 5:37
  themselves
• 5:38
  and
• 5:38
  their
• 5:38
  books
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  world
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  children's
• 5:41
  book
• 5:41
  readers
• 5:41
  and
• 5:42
  authors.
• 5:43
  The
• 5:44
  spirit
• 5:44
  of
• 5:44
  support
• 5:45
  comes
• 5:45
  from
• 5:45
  the
• 5:45
  philosophy
• 5:47
  I
• 5:47
  scratch
• 5:48
  your
• 5:48
  back,
• 5:48
  you
• 5:49
  scratch
• 5:49
  my
• 5:49
  back,
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  we
• 5:50
  support
• 5:51
  each
• 5:51
  other.
• 5:52
  When
• 5:52
  I
• 5:52
  started
• 5:53
  my
• 5:53
  journey
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  support
• 5:54
  children's
• 5:54
  book
• 5:55
  authors
• 5:55
  through
• 5:55
  podcasting,
• 5:56
  my
• 5:57
  goal
• 5:57
  was
• 5:57
  to
• 5:58
  connect
• 5:58
  these
• 5:59
  authors
• 6:00
  with
• 6:00
  readers
• 6:01
  and
• 6:01
  children's
• 6:02
  literature.
• 6:03
  Do
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  know
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  definition
• 6:05
  of
• 6:05
  support?
• 6:06
  Initially
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  thought
• 6:07
  it
• 6:07
  meant
• 6:07
  to
• 6:08
  aid,
• 6:08
  but
• 6:08
  the
• 6:09
  term
• 6:09
  encompasses
• 6:10
  much
• 6:11
  more.
• 6:12
  It
• 6:12
  also
• 6:13
  means
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  endure
• 6:14
  bravely
• 6:15
  and
• 6:15
  to
• 6:16
  bear.
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  took
• 6:17
  the
• 6:18
  word
• 6:18
  bear
• 6:19
  as
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  sign
• 6:19
  mainly
• 6:20
  because
• 6:20
  the
• 6:21
  main
• 6:21
  character
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  our
• 6:22
  children's
• 6:23
  book
• 6:23
  series,
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  Adventures
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  Caboose,
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  Rocky
• 6:25
  Mountain
• 6:26
  Bear,
• 6:26
  is
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  bear.
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  contacted
• 6:29
  children's
• 6:30
  book
• 6:30
  authors
• 6:30
  to
• 6:30
  see
• 6:30
  if
• 6:31
  they
• 6:31
  wanted
• 6:31
  to
• 6:31
  appear
• 6:32
  on
• 6:32
  our
• 6:33
  Adventures
• 6:33
  in
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  Heart
• 6:34
  of

  Book
• 6:36
  Authors
• 6:36
  podcast,
• 6:37
  but
• 6:38
  also
• 6:38
  I'm
• 6:39
  amazed
• 6:39
  at
• 6:39
  how

  a

  please

  don't
• 8:00
  hesitate
• 8:01
  to
• 8:01
  let

  us

  know.
• 8:02
  Many
• 8:03
  authors
• 8:03
  have

  kindly

  offered

  to

  our

  interviews,
• 8:09
  which
• 8:09
  I
• 8:09
  appreciate.
• 8:10
  However,
• 8:11
  I
• 8:11
  thought,
• 8:12
  why
• 8:12
  not
• 8:13
  take
• 8:13
  my
• 8:13
  support
• 8:14
  and
• 8:15
  put
• 8:15
  my
• 8:15
  money
• 8:15
  where
• 8:16
  my
• 8:16
  mouth
• 8:16
  is.
• 8:17
  I
• 8:17
  plan
• 8:17
  to
• 8:17
  purchase
• 8:18
  each
• 8:19
  guest
• 8:20
  book
• 8:20
  before
• 8:21
  they
• 8:21
  appear
• 8:21
  on
• 8:21
  our
• 8:22
  podcast
• 8:22
  show
• 8:23
  so
• 8:23
  I
• 8:24
  can
• 8:24
  share
• 8:24
  my
• 8:25
  thoughts
• 8:25
  in
• 8:25
  advance.
• 8:26
  Owning
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  book
• 8:29
  will
• 8:30
  let
• 8:30
  our
• 8:30
  audiences
• 8:31
  know
• 8:31
  that
• 8:31
  we
• 8:32
  have
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  vested
• 8:32
  interest
• 8:33
  in
• 8:33
  our
• 8:33
  children's
• 8:34
  book
• 8:35
  library,
• 8:36
  giving
• 8:37
  our
• 8:38
  listening
• 8:38
  audience
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  preview
• 8:40
  of
• 8:40
  each
• 8:41
  book
• 8:42
  from
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42

• 8:43
  that
• 8:43
  we

  have
• 8:43
  on
• 8:44
  our
• 8:44
  podcast
• 8:45
  show.
• 8:45
  Additionally,
• 8:47
  I
• 8:47
  intend
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  involve
• 8:49
  one
• 8:49
  or
• 8:50
  two
• 8:50
  of
• 8:50
  my
• 8:51
  grandchildren
• 8:52
  in
• 8:52
  reviewing
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  books
• 8:53
  from
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  younger
• 8:55
  perspective.
• 8:56
  The
• 8:56
  idea
• 8:56
  was
• 8:56
  sparked
• 8:57
  by
• 8:57
  my
• 8:57
  youngest
• 8:58
  granddaughter.
• 8:59
  She
• 8:59
  unexpectedly
• 9:01
  visited
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  read
• 9:02
  the
• 9:03
  children's
• 9:03
  book
• 9:04
  Robbie
• 9:04
  the
• 9:05
  Dyslexic
• 9:06
  Taxi
• 9:06
  and
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  Airport
• 9:07
  Adventure.
• 9:09
  She
• 9:09
  was
• 9:10
  aware
• 9:10
  of
• 9:11
  dyslexia
• 9:12
  from
• 9:12
  school,
• 9:14
  so
• 9:14
  she
• 9:14
  was
• 9:14
  pleasantly
• 9:15
  surprised
• 9:16
  to
• 9:16
  find
• 9:16
  a
• 9:16
  book
• 9:16
  on
• 9:17
  the
• 9:17
  topic.
• 9:18
  She
• 9:18
  enjoyed
• 9:18
  the
• 9:19
  story
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  the
• 9:20
  illustrations.
• 9:21
  As
• 9:21
  a
• 9:22
  grandparent,
• 9:23
  I
• 9:23
  found
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  story
• 9:24
  engaging.
• 9:25
  It
• 9:25
  draws
• 9:26
  readers
• 9:26
  in,

  teaches

  lessons

  about

  Dyslexic

  his

  adventure.
• 9:33
  Robby
• 9:34
  problem
• 9:35
  solves
• 9:35
  in
• 9:35
  a
• 9:36
  unique
• 9:36
  way
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  the
• 9:38
  fun
• 9:38
  narrative
• 9:39
  imparts
• 9:39
  an
• 9:40
  important
• 9:40
  lesson
• 9:41
  that
• 9:42
  all
• 9:42
  young
• 9:42
  children
• 9:43
  can
• 9:43
  understand.
• 9:45
  The
• 9:45
  colorful
• 9:46
  illustrations
• 9:47
  make
• 9:47
  each
• 9:47
  page
• 9:48
  an

  exciting
• 9:50
  visual
• 9:50
  adventure.
• 9:52
  They

  are
• 9:52
  truly

  captivating.

  I'm
